Book: Characters of the Graffiti World

Characters of the Graffiti World
By: Kane "Scream" Smith
'Characters of the graffiti world' is over 120 pages, of full-colour photos (and 4 interviews with prominent genre'ed artists) based on the charicatures and themework of the graffiti/aerosol art culture. Where-as graffiti usually draws one's mind to words and letters, tags and scrawls, this book is focussed more on the artistic side of the graffiti culture and not focussed on the words or tags at all-it's about the themework and charicatures/characters of the culture. The photography within the book is 40% NZ based and 60% international giving a great cross-section of both national and international talent/artists
